Metallic unibody is becoming the “in” thing for the smartphone manufacturers to give their products premium look and better grip especially to those on the go users. But with the elegant and sophisticated look, price will always go with it and Vivo is one of the smartphones that goes with the call of affordability. Their Vivo V3 is currently on the market with the SRP of Php 9, 990.
The Vivo V3 has a metallic unibody with the 143.6 mm X 71 mm X 7.5 mm and weighs 138 grams. It has 5 inches multi-touch HD display. And because it is unibody it has a non-removable 2550mAh battery. In terms of processor, the unit is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 Octa-core 1.5GHz with interface of Funtouch OS2.5 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop that ensures more personalized features from the nativation, widgets and camera not to mention faster opening of apps and waking the phone from being locked. It has 32 GB internal memory and has external card slot that can accommodate up to 128 GB. It has dual SIM features.
In terms of camera, it has 13MP auto-focus rear and 8MP front cam. Rear camera features include panorama, face beauty, HDR, night mode, motion track, professional (DSLR like), slow-mo, fast (time lapse), voice shutter, touch capture, palm (hand gesture control), timer, gender detection, filter, and watermark. Meanwhile, front camera has night mode, voice shutter, touch capture, palm, timer, gender detection, filter and watermark.
Aside from the professional feature that gives a DSLR approach. Instagram and Snapchat fans will surely love the filter and watermark features whereas they can add filters to their photos with so many choices that are not available in IG and snaps. And for those who love storifying their photos can now automatically add watermarks and stickers before they upload it on their social media account. So instead downloading apps that require purchasing certain features or to fully unlock features, the Vivo V3 has it.
Lastly, it has gesture control to instantly open the app you want to open aside from the finger scan rear feature where you can open the phone with your finger tip in 5 seconds as you raise your phone. It’s more practical and I suggest enrolling your index finger. Packaging includes the unit, jelly case, usb cord, wall charger, earphone, warranty card, user guide and pin to open the SIM and Memory Card slot.
Vivo V3 is available on Vivo concept stores located in SM Light in EDSA, Mandaluyong City and authorized dealers/resellers nationwide.
